Union Pacific at Palisade Canyon—22 years ago today.

On the afternoon of July 24, 1993, TSH and I  explored Nevada’s Palisade Canyon—a scenic cleft in the desert where the Southern Pacific-Union Pacific (former Western Pacific) east-west ‘Paired Track’ mainlines were in close-proximity to one another.

We made several photographs at this location under brilliant sunny skies. Today, both lines are Union Pacific.
